Nez”, as s he is known by her friends (and she has lots of them), is little but her dramatic ability covers it all.

Page 24 The Echo 1928 ZEDA MORGAN General ; Most Studious, ’28. Zeda is a quiet student and rarely has any¬ thing to say. However it is worth one’s while to look at her report card. This shows she has a good record. Zeda was voted the hardest worker of the class. By her determination, she will win a name in the world. LESTER MORGAN Science; Football, ’25-’26-’27-’28. Lester and his car are two of the standbys of Boyden High. Altho’ not as brilliant as some when it comes to books, Lester rates high among the students. Not only the students but the football team will miss him next year. ALFRED MOWERY Science ; Football, ’25-’26-’27-’28. Alfred looks so much like Baxter that we sometimes don’t know which is which.

HAROLD MYERS General ; Dramatic Club, ’27-’28 ; Basketball Squad, ’26-’28 ; Declaimer, ’27-’28 ; Dramatic Club Play, “Seventeen” ; Gypsy Rover, ’27 ; Senior Class Play, ’28. Our “Prince Charming” is a fine actor, but evidently something has happened since mid¬ term that gives him that dreamy look. Maybe it’s because Martha left. Harold is a general favorite of the senior class, and an important figure in dramatics.
